ALL NEWS AND ADVERTISEMENT DEADLINE: MONDAYS AT 5:00 P.M. of Willow Creek Terrace enjoy the changing seasons, the wonderful palette of colorful leaves, while soaking up the warmth of the sunshine from the front porch, when an activity inside isn’t calling one’s name. And anyone enjoying that vantage point will be the first to view and welcome a new neighbor when someone decides to join the Community on the Hill by moving into one of the two available apartments. Interested persons are encouraged to call 541-676-0004 for information. Residents and staff recently welcomed new employee Jazmyn Dubry, who has joined them in time for the October calendar of daily and special activities. Today’s morning discussion was an opportunity to reminisce about teachers and/or teaching, as it is designated “World Teachers Day.” Residents may be taking time to write some notes on Friday to special people in their lives, when they acknowledge n a t i o n a l “ Yo u M a t t e r to Me Day.” Columbus will be the morning topic on Columbus Day, the 10 th , possibly with some discussion of the strong Columbus Day Storm in 1962. And familiar names will surely come to mind during morning discussion on the 12 th , which will be “Farmers Day.” On the 13 th , participants may have something to say about the US Navy, which was formed on this date in 1775. Wo r k o n a will begin on the 14 th , so by the time the ghosts and goblins roam, they will see creative decorations on the apartment doors. Grouches and mushrooms share a day of celebration according to the book of special dates used by the Terrace. One might hope that the morning discussion about grouches will be briefer than the one about mushrooms. But Bosses will be the topic on their designated day, the 17 th , so the morning chat could grow pretty long. “Make a Difference Day” could create a challenge for residents and staff on the 21 st . But conversation about “Mothers-in-Law” on the 23, could last even longer than that about bosses. “Frankenstein Friday” might be the day residents will want to be cautious about what might appear on their lunch-time plates. Unusual items could be featured along with “Breadsticks” because that is also their special day on the calendar. All this leads up to the annual celebration of that ubiquitous Halloween treat, Candy Corn! It has its special day on the 30 th , which is when Residents will be guessing the number of pieces of candy corn in a container, vying for a prize. Then, time to bring out the Halloween shirts and get the treats ready for the trick-or-treaters who will come on Halloween. The residents and staff view this climax to a pretty quiet month with pleasure as they delight in the costumes and performances of their young visitors.
